 Name of
peripheral Function and application
equipment

Magnetic An MC can be used at both the power input (primary) and output (secondary)
contactor (MC) sides of the inverter. At each side, the MC works as described below. When
inserted in the output circuit of the inverter, an MC can also switch the motor
drive power supply between the inverter output and commercial power lines.
At the power supply (primary) side
Insert an MC in the power supply side of the inverter in order to:
1) Forcibly cut off the inverter from the power supply (generally,
commercial/factory power lines) with the protection function built into the
inverter, or with the terminal signal line.
2) Stop the inverter operation in an emergency when the inverter cannot
interpret the stop command due to internal/external circuit failures.
3) Cut off the inverter from the power supply when the MCCB inserted in the
power supply side cannot cut it off for maintenance or inspection purpose.
If you are to use the MC for this purpose only, it is recommended that you
Main peripheral equipment

use an MC capable of turning the MC ON/OFF manually.

Note: When your system requires the motor(s) driven by the inverter to be
started/stopped with the MC, the frequency of the starting/stopping operation
should be once or less per hour. The more frequent the operation, the shorter
operation life of the MC and capacitor/s used in the DC link bus due to thermal
fatigue caused by the frequent charging of the current flow. If this is not
necessary, start/stop the motor with the terminal commands FWD/REV or with
the keypad.
At the output (secondary) side
Prevent externally turned-around current from being applied to the inverter
power output terminals (U, V, and W) unexpectedly. An MC should be used, for
example, if a circuit that switches the motor driving source between the inverter
output and commercial/factory power lines is connected to the inverter.
Note: As application of high voltage external current to the inverter's output
side may break the IGBTs, MCs should be used in the power control system
circuits to switch the motor drive power supply to the commercial/factory power
lines after the motor has come to a complete stop. Also ensure that voltage is
never mistakenly applied to the inverter output terminals due to unexpected
timer operation, or similar.
Driving the motor using commercial power lines
MCs can also be used to switch the power supply of the motor driven by the
inverter to a commercial power supply.

 Name of option Function and application
DC reactors A DCR is mainly used for power supply matching and for input power factor
(DCRs) correction (for reduction of harmonics).
1) For power supply matching
- Use a DCR when the capacity of a power supply transformer exceeds 500
kVA. In this case, the percentage-reactance of the power supply
decreases, and harmonic components and their peak levels increase.
These factors may break rectifiers or capacitors in the converter section
of inverter, or decrease the capacitance of the capacitor (which can
shorten the inverter’s service life).
- Also use a DCR when there are thyristor-driven loads or when
phase-advancing capacitors are being turned ON/OFF.
2) For input power factor correction (reduction of harmonics)
Generally a capacitor is used to correct the power factor of the load,
however, it cannot be used in a system that includes an inverter. Using a
DCR increases the reactance of inverter’s power supply so as to decrease
harmonic components on the power supply lines and correct the power
factor of inverter. Using a DCR reforms the input power factor to
approximately 90 to 95%.
Note: At the time of shipping, a jumper bar is connected across the terminals
P1 and P (+) on the terminal block. Remove the jumper bar when connecting a
DCR.
Output circuit Include an OFL in the inverter power output (secondary) circuit to:
filters 1) Suppress the surge voltage at motor terminal
(OFLs) This protects the motor from insulation damage caused by the application of
high surge voltage.
2) Suppress leakage current from the power output lines (due to harmonic
Main option

components)
This reduces the leakage current when the motor is hooked by long power
feed lines. It is recommended that the length of the power feed line be kept
to less than 400 m.
3) Minimize emission and/or induction noise issued from the power output
lines
OFLs are effective in reducing noise from long power feed lines, such as
those used in plants, etc.
Note: Use an output circuit (secondary) filter of OFL- - A.
Zero-phase An ACL is used to reduce radio noise emitted by the inverter.
reactors for An ACL suppresses the outflow of high frequency noise caused by switching
reducing radio operation for the power supply (primary) lines inside the inverter. Pass the
frequency noise power supply lines together through the ACL for 4 turns (coiled 3 times).
(ACL) Use 4 ACLs and let the power supply lines pass through them when the sizes
of the power supply lines are large.
If wiring length between the inverter and motor is less than 20 m, insert an ACL
to the power supply (primary) lines; if it is more than 20 m, insert it to the power
output (secondary) lines of the inverter.
AC Reactor This optional feature must be connected to the primary side (commercial
(ACR) power supply side) of the inverter, when the inter-phase unbalance factor of
the commercial power supply is 2% to 3%.
Max. voltage (V) Min. voltage (V)
Voltage unbalance (%) = × 67
Three - phase average voltage (V)
In case the inter-phase unbalance factor of the commercial power supply
exceeds 3%, you would need to take other measures such as increasing
the capacity of the inverter. Consult your Fuji Electric representative.
In a DC link bus system (using terminals [P (+)] and [N (-)]), the AC reactor
protects the inverter against damage caused by unbalance in current.
Braking resistors A braking resistor converts regenerative energy generated from deceleration
(DBRs) of the motor and converts it to heat for consumption. Use of a braking resistor
results in improved deceleration performance of the inverter.

Surge absorbers A surge absorber suppresses surge currents and noise from the magnetic
contactors, mini-relays and timers, and protects the inverter from
malfunctioning.
Other peripheral equipment

Surge killers A surge killer eliminates surge currents induced by lightening and noise from
the power supply lines. Use of a surge killer is effective in preventing the
electronic equipment, including inverters, from damage or malfunctioning
caused by such surges and/or noise.

Arresters An arrester suppresses surge currents and noise invaded from the power
supply lines. Use of an arrester is effective in preventing electronic equipment,
including inverters, from damage or malfunctioning caused by such surges
and/or noise.

10.3 Compliance with EMC Standards
10.3.1 General

The CE marking on inverters does not ensure that the entire equipment including our CE-marked
products is compliant with the EMC Directive. Therefore, CE marking for the equipment shall be
the responsibility of the equipment manufacturer. For this reason, Fuji’s CE mark is indicated under
the condition that the product shall be used within equipment meeting all requirements for the
relevant Directives. Instrumentation of such equipment shall be the responsibility of the equipment
manufacturer.

Generally, machinery or equipment includes not only our products but other devices as well.
Manufacturers, therefore, shall design the whole system to be compliant with the relevant
Directives.

In addition, to satisfy the requirements noted above, use a Fuji FRENIC inverter in connection with
an EMC-compliant filter (optional feature) in accordance with the instructions contained in this
instruction manual. Installing the inverter(s) in a metal enclosure may be necessary, depending
upon the operating environment of the equipment that the inverter is to be used with.

Our EMC compliance test is performed under the following conditions.

- Motor Sound (carrier frequency) (F26): 15 kHz
- Wiring length (of the shielded cable) between the inverter and motor: 10 m

10.3.2 Recommended installation procedure

To make the machinery or equipment fully compliant with the EMC Directive, have certified
technicians wire the motor and inverter in strict accordance with the procedure described below.

In the case of EMC filter built-in type of inverters with a capacity of 4.0 kW or below

1) Mount the EMC grounding flange (that comes with the inverter) to the inverter with screws in
order to ground the wire shield(s). (See Figure 10.1.)

Figure 10.1 Attaching the EMC Grounding Flange

2) Use shielded wires for the motor cable and route it as short as possible. Firmly clamp the wire
shield to the flange to ground it. Further, connect the wire shield electrically to the grounding
terminal of motor. (See Figure 10.2.)
3) Use shielded wire for connection around the control terminals of the inverter and also for
connection of the signal cable of an RS-485 Communications. As with the motor, clamp the
shield wire firmly to a grounded plate. (See Figure 10.2.)
10-2
4) In the case of FRN0.75E1E-7 , motor cable shall be wired through the ring core (that comes
with the inverter), and the ring core shall be fixed by the EMC grounding flange.

* For FRN0.75E1E-7 , a ring core

comes with the inverter.
